Build your career at Iress!

Join our Wealth APAC - Product team in Melbourne or Sydney as a Product Designer, reporting to the Product Design Team Lead. You’ll turn complex financial-advice workflows into clear, well-crafted features—from discovery through delivery, alongside product managers, engineers and designers.

Help shape a product being reimagined: explore how technology can reduce busywork, influence both the user experience and design practice, and grow your craft with an experienced team.

Some of the amazing things you’ll be involved in

• Designing clear, well-structured features that reduce complexity; mapping key user flows, covering common interaction states and applying the design system.


• Partnering with engineers from design through delivery: preparing clear specifications, prototyping where useful and staying hands-on so the experience is implemented as intended.


• Taking part in discovery, framing problems and using lightweight research or usability testing to sense-check your direction.


• Reviewing how shipped work is being used and bringing issues and opportunities back to the team.


• Explaining the rationale behind your design decisions in critique, contributing to shared design practices and responding constructively to feedback.


• Taking ownership of your work area, communicating blockers or risks early and following through on agreed commitments.


• Experimenting with AI in your design practice, sharing what you learn and considering where it does—and doesn’t—help.

What you will bring

• Experience designing software products as part of a team, supported by a portfolio that demonstrates your design craft, problem-solving and decision-making.


• Strong visual and interaction design skills, including information hierarchy, layout and attention to detail in complex workflows.


• The ability to map user flows, design for common interaction states and consider how a feature fits into the broader experience.


• Practical research and usability testing skills, and the ability to turn findings into design improvements.


• Proficiency with modern design tools such as Figma, plus working knowledge of HTML and CSS for prototyping and collaboration with engineers.


• Experience applying design systems, interaction patterns and accessibility principles, and identifying where patterns need to be extended.


• Clear communication and collaboration skills, including preparing design specifications, explaining your rationale and working with engineers through implementation and quality assurance.


• A dependable, organised approach to delivery, with curiosity, openness to feedback and a willingness to learn and experiment with AI.

Experience in financial services, regulated workflows or comparable complex B2B software environments would be an advantage.

Why work with us?

• 8 additional paid days per year to extend your weekends


• Hybrid working


• Generous cash bonus for every successful referral


• Starting school leave - 8.5 days of leave to assist your children with the transition to school


• Up to 26 weeks’ paid parental leave for primary carers (up to 4 weeks for secondary carers), and the ability to work part-time when returning to work


• 3 days’ paid leave per year to participate in charity initiatives


• Discounted health insurance premiums


• Access to learning and development programs through LinkedIn Learning.
